A Strike at the White House.

Mrs. Cleveland has taken into her
own hands the management of the
White House. Hitherto the president
ran things, now Mrs. Cleveland is
housekeeper and ruler. Last summer,
just before the president went away,
he gave his cook, Seigle, vacation
and also a recommendation. The let
ter recommended the man in the high
est terms. When he left the president
told him he would only have vaca-
ton for a few months, and that he
would notify Seigle when he wanted
him back. Not many weeks ago the
president wrote to Seigle to come back
and was surprised to receive IL letter
stating that the recommendation had
proved so good and that he had such IL
good place, that he could not think of
coming back ut the old wages, but
wanted an increase. Mrs. Cleveland
got hold of the letter before the presi-
dent could answer it and vetoed it at
once. She remarked that she could
get a cook as good as Seigle ut the old
wages, and that she would not yield to
the strike. Then and there she took
the management of the household af
fairs into her own hands.

After all, it is not an easy thing to
stand silent and unresponsive when
the wind of folly and extravaganza of
Your neigh bOrs-the LAS over the

haps, yet live with Il dash and u haste
which prevents them seeing anything
So trifling us butchers bill in their
paths, whose daughters marry well III
the land and whose sons fall into coy
berths-blows roughly on the strings
of your own plodding, honest heart,
which carefully picks up all it's bills
and settles them honOrably. The con
victiOnT which is apt to be n little de
pressing occasionally, when you see
yonr own daughter either unmarried
or make some hopeless match, or yOur
sons passed over for less worthy men,
forces itself home to You that virtue is
its own reward, and the reed answers
To the wind blowing over it, and yOn
and the wife of your bosom make con-
tidences about your neighbOrs over the

of course it must go no further, you

confidential answer; but somehow or

Mrs. A. has another gown, and that
Mr.. A has been doing some very un
pleasant climbing up dirty back stairs.
All day long, from society life, goes up
the burden of condolences, from the
minor one that Miss S. dyes her hair
To the one of different degree which
tells the world that your nelghbOr is IA

which helps to convert the minds Sc

Agricultural Experiment Station.
A List OF Experiments to be Conducted
the Present Season.


As is well known, the State Agricul
tural Experiment Station has no farm
of it's own, aud hence it must rely oil
the farmers Of the state for the land OF
which to- conduct the series of expert
ments that are to be carried out thi,
summer. 1t is desirable that these ex-
periments be tried in each part of tire
state. They are as follows:
l. The testing of new fodder plants
to see if they are adapted to our sol
aud climate.
a. Alfalfa, species of clover, re-
qnires land well drained, and from
which the snow does not blow off in
the winter; sOwn broadcast, used for
hay or green feed; does not die out
like ordinary clover.
b. Cow pea sOwn in drills, and cul :
tivated like beans, makes il very heavy
growth of excellent fodder used only
for green feed can be grown on poor,
weedy soil, but does best on soil nat
urally rich in potash.
"a. Horse beans, sOwn broadcast
with barley or oats that are to be cut
for hay, to increase the nutritiOusness
of the fodder.
2. Tests with fertilizers. The
work with fertilizers will be confined
to IL single line of inquiry, namely to
ascertain whether fodder plants can
use phOsphorc acid when it is supplied
in the cheap form of undissOlved phos
pIate rock or unaissOlved bone black.
These experiments will be tried on
permanent grass land only as it will
take two or more years to determine
how much benefit has been received
from the fertilizer. The phOsphates
will be supplied.
a. In the form of fine ground South
Carolina rock.
b. In the form of fine ground bone
black.
c. These two forms mixed with the
addition of plaster.
The trials with new fodder plants
will be on plots of OnefOurth of an
acre. The fertilizers trial on plots of
One-tenth of an acre with several un-
MANFRED plots for comparison. The
experiment station will furnish the
seed and the fertilizers free of cost,
only STIMULATING that whoever takes
them shall agree to report to the sta
ton the results of the trial.
All who are willing to try any of
these experiments will please send in
their names and signify which expert
ments they desire to make. Full iii
Tcctions will be sent with each pack
age of seed or fertilizer.

Too Many Subjects of Study.

DR.. w. A. Hammond in Popular Science Monthly.
One of the greatest mistakes made in
our present system of educating child
rem is, that they are given too many
subjects to study ut once. The power
of dissOciatiOn-that is, of Keeping one
subject entirely clear of another snb-
ject-is not great in the minds of child
rem. They therefore have IL mass of
confused ideas when they have got
through with their daily tasks, which
it is always difficult, and sometimes
impossible, for them to separate one
from the other. 1t is true that some
children are, from the beginning, able
to concentrate the attention first on
one subject and then on another; but
these are quite exceptional instances,
and the brain is very likely to be
strained in the effort. 1t is rs though
a person should spend six hours in
looking alternately through IL telescope
and IL microscope, givlnga few minutes
to each. 1t would certainly be found
at the end of that time that the sight
had been injured for the time being, ut
least, and if The practice should be con
tinued there can he no doubt that per-
manent i'm Impairment of vision would be
the result.
The effort to form and maintain clear
and fOrcible ideas of several subjects
at once is difficult matter, even for
adults. 1t has been found by expert
ence that it is advantageous to reduce
the number of branches of medical
science which students are required to
study simultaneously. Several of the
better class of medical colleges in this
country IL few years ago cut down the
list of from eight OF ten to less than
half the number, and extended the pc
Rod of study from two sessions of four
months each to three of from six to
eight months. | speak from personal
experience when say that am aware

cal schools for nearly twenty five

different branch. How much better it

aghast, gazing at each other in deaf
ening din like ghosts of murdered men.
But, happily, each confidence, like a
stone cast in pond. makes it's own lit
tie circlet of waves, which reach the
bank somewhere or another and come
to rest. And we remember this, and
perhaps by an instinct divine in its
beginning, trust that our neighbo,'s
bosom will be that bank and our Sc
cret will go no further.

The production of maple sugar in
Vermont this year promises to be
much less than the average yield of
former seasons, owing to the lateness
of the season and the great quantity of
snow in the woods. This is invariably
the case every spring. But the Yer
